Logitech G27- Daniel Fonseka

The Logitech G27 is an electronic steering wheel designed for Sim racing video games on the PC, PlayStation
2 andPlayStation 3. It uses a USB interface, and is based upon the previous G25, with some new features
including the use of helical gearing instead of the previous straight gears used on the G25.
It features:
A wheel:
270 mm, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Range of rotation adjustable up to 900 degrees.
2 force feedback motors.
One set of gears between motors and wheel, including an anti-backlash design.
2 paddleshifters.
6 buttons.
Dual-motor force feedback with helical gears that produces less noise than the G25, and provides better
steering response.[1]
A set of stainless steel pedals, including:
Accelerator. (light spring)
Brake (heavy spring)
Clutch. (medium spring)
A carpet grip which keeps the pedals in position while playing.
A shifter unit:
8 buttons.
1 D-pad.
A gear stick with a six-speed 'H' pattern gearbox. Reverse is selected by pressing down and changing to sixth.
Unlike the superseded Logitech G25, the shifter unit does not include a selector to switch to sequential updown mode, only allowing six-speed mode to be used. The shift click has improved though and gives less
noise (Logitech G27)
The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel real metal, real leather, real racing
Whether sliding sideways around a gravely curve, or screaming through the streets of Monaco, with the
Logitech G27 Racing Wheel, the world's greatest circuits feel closer than ever. Designed to deliver the
definitive sim racing experience for the PC and PLAYSTATION3, the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel features a
powerful, dual-motor force feedback mechanism that smoothly and accurately simulates traction loss, weight
shift, and road feel; plus a an exceptionally quiet helical gear system that virtually eliminates steering noise.
And then there are the six-speed shifter with push-down reverse gear; RPM/shift indicator LEDs; 11-inch
leather-wrapped rim; steel gas, brake, and clutch pedals; and 16 programmable buttons plus D-pad. All of
which add up to a level of performance and realism that you might not have thought possible. (Logitech G27)
The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel is one of the few steering wheels you can purchase without going wrong,
when it comes to a full gaming experience. There are people who still prefer playing racing games using their
keyboard, while others have decided to switch to gamepads. However, the experience is never complete if you
refrain from using a dedicated steering wheel thats designed to work hand in hand with all the latest games out
there. Logitech is known for their pricier devices, but you can be sure they never fail to deliver, the G27 being
a fine example of this quality.
What you should look into when it comes to purchasing a racing wheel is the rotation angle. Many steering
wheels have low rotation threshold, but the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel gives you a 1:1 experience when
compared to a real steering wheel. You can turn the wheel to 900 degrees, so you can truly feel like youre
driving and not just performing a poor mimicking act. This, however, is just one of the many aspects that make
the G27 the #1 contender when it comes to purchasing a solid racing wheel.
The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel has a great force feedback system available. The dual-motor design behind
this allows your wheel to respond realistically to whatever happens in the game. Have you lost traction while
turning on gravel? Did the weight shift in a fast corner? All of these are going to become challenges for your

racing times, and you should fine tune toe wheel to make the most out of it. The RPM or shift indicator
lights are another great addition. Although not all games support it, if you play a racing game where this
feature is available, you will be able to shift without looking at your screen anymore, as you will learn to do it
according to the lights, leading to a smoother driving experience.
The wheel itself features a leather finish, so you can feel just like behind a real steering wheel. You cant lose
grip, so you wont lose any time at all when you drive using the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel. The pedals have
also been crafted with care and attention to detail in mind. This is why all three are designed using stainless
steel and they are true-to-life. They are also extremely precise; if you are used with the pedals of a real vehicle,
getting the hang of these ones will take only minutes.
The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel also comes with a realistic, six-speed shifter, which you can use in order to
easily change speeds whenever you need to. Aside from this, you might also be interested in the 16
programmable buttons. They are there in order to assist you whenever you have to activate a certain feature
within the game, and they are fully customizable. The same applies to the settings of the wheel, although you
can install the dedicated app and have the wheel automatically configured for the most popular games out
there. (Logitech G27)
Dual-motor force feedback makes you feel closer than ever to the worlds greatest circuits.
Replacing and improving upon the venerable G25 Racing Wheel, the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel is designed
to deliver the definitive sim racing experience. A diagonal-cut, helical gear system creates a smooth and
accurate force feedback experience, while more programmable buttons on the wheel and two stainless steel
shifter paddles put the functions you need within your reach. With the G27, whether youre sliding sideways
around a gravelly curve, or screaming through the streets of Monaco, the worlds greatest circuits feel closer
than ever. (Logitech G27)
